Abstract

In this article, we describe high school promotional visits and campus workshops developed to encourage female junior high school students to consider a career in information technology. The students were exposed to programming concepts and activities in a manner that made such content enjoyable and relatively easy to understand and were given pre and post workshop questionnaires. Students perceived programming as simpler and themselves as being more capable after attending these workshops. The article demonstrates the potential for such workshops to address aspects of perceived difficulty and of self-perceptions in ability to master such content.

  • These 16 studies focused on increased participation or retention of females, minorities, or other underrepresented populations in STEM fields.

    “These studies focused on increased participation or retention of females (Mason, Cooper, & Comber, 2011;Master et al., 2017;Terry, Briggs, & Rivale, 2011), minorities (Kafai, Searle, Martinez, & Brayboy, 2014;Searle, Fields, Lui, & Kafai, 2014;Shatz, Pieloch, & Shamieh, 2016;Zimmerman, Johnson, Wambsgans, & Fuentes, 2011) or other underrepresented populations in STEM fields (Dorsey & Howard, 2011;”

  • Studies considering exposure to STEM via robotics have shown robotically based curriculum to be successful in improving students' interest.

    “In general, there were two study types: (1) studies considering exposure to STEM via robotics and have shown robotically based curriculum to be successful in improving students' interest (e.g., Mason et al., 2011);”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
